Out From Under My Rock!

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

It’s been a long week! Lots of things going on, including a bit of a scare on Friday. But all is well.
We’ve been out of town since Friday and, though it was fun visiting family, it’s good to be home again. I have fallen behind in virtually all aspects of my life, […]

Long Day

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Prologue: It’s good news.
Now, on to today’s post….
Yesterday was one heck of a long day. It was mostly a day of waiting. We left for Town at ten in the morning, and got back home at almost ten at night. It seemed that everywhere we went, there was a hurry-up-and-wait situation. […]

Anticipation

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

The past several weeks have been a real opportunity for me in regards to living in the Now. I’ve realized in the past couple of days, though, that I have not mastered this technique yet. Though I have successfully kept tomorrow’s tests out of my mind for the most part, I still have […]

Magic Realism

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

The artist who painted this picture, Rob Gonsalves, is a brilliant, magical illusionist. I found his work online and have been fascinated ever since. He somehow takes realistic, but opposing scenes, and matches them together seamlessly. This piece, titled Bedtime Aviation is only an example of what he can do. […]

Interesting Lesson

Monday, May 15th, 2006

There was a time in my life when I was very judgmental and critical of myself, and therefore judgmental and critical of everyone around me. Most especially strangers. As I’ve grown, I’d like to think that I have changed considerably and am no longer that critical person. Every once in a while, […]

Not Quite Nothing

Friday, May 12th, 2006

I got my test results back and here’s what they found.
The lesion they found is called dysplasia. It is “pre-cancer”, and as far as my understanding goes, if it’s left untreated, it often leads to cancer, hence the name. But it is not, itself, cancer.
So, I have to go in for […]

Several Grains of Sand

Saturday, May 6th, 2006

This is just something really (really) neat I ran across on the Net. These folks take “sandcastles” to a level I never even thought possible. If you are impressed by wonderfulness, need a pick-me-up, or just want to see something cool, go check out this site: Sand Sculptures
If you poke around, you will […]

Wee Bit of Fun…

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Note to Self:
Anytime I get the urge to feel sorry for myself or think I have nothing to be grateful for, visit Mark Inglis’ website.
This guy is amazing. He’s a mountain climber, and in 1982, he was trapped in an ice cave for two weeks. As a result of frostbite during that time, […]
